白色展堂-沒有事實 只有詮釋

沒有事實 只有詮釋

沒有事實 只有詮釋( To Hide Something)」

2016 CROTER Solo Exhibition沒有事實,
只有詮釋 『詮釋』是植入意義,而不是『說明』。
 所謂『事實』並不存在,萬物皆流,皆不可理解,難以捉摸。 
尼采 Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche
展覽介紹:

在虛擬社交為主流的時代,生活中有太多矯飾包裝早已內化成一種偽裝擬態。手機螢幕所呈現的動態、人們擺出的姿勢,難以分辨其情緒的真偽,是否實為本性所致。「社會化」讓我們願意「善解人意」(或稱之為「禮貌」)的配合演出,在人際關係中,忽略真正核心的感受,不戳破情感真相,似乎才是體貼人心的表現。
CROTER透過插畫,融入符號元素與諷刺性的幽默,結合個人獨特的社會觀察視角,期盼透過繪畫的敘述脈絡,引導觀者用自我觀點,詮釋此大哉問的真諦,最後引用哲學家尼采所說的「沒有事實、只有詮釋」,留下最美的註解。

Q1.是什麼的動力讓你維持獨立創作(非商業合作案)?

CROTER:我自己認為,不只是在插畫工作上,只要是從事圖像的工作,都必須要一直對於自己的固有視覺思考模式去延伸或挑戰,才能維持在圖像神經上的敏感。我自己的方式就是除了往外不斷接受外界的爆炸資訊,也要不停往內心去挖掘,把那些沉澱在心中的概念滔洗出來,抱著一種把想法視覺化的心情,試著去描繪看看,但是幾乎每次都有不同深深淺淺的收穫(當然不包括金錢方面)。

Q2這次創作的概念,尼采對你有什麼特別的啟發?

CROTER:就如前面一題所說,在我往內心深掘的時候,常常會挖到奇怪的物件,那些藏心裡的已經分不出外貌的東西,在思考這些沉積在我內心的物件時候,我經常會去翻找哲學領域的書籍去尋找答案(找答案這件事情其實就是錯誤的),尼采與存在主義經常影響我停止去探尋不存在的答案,而轉向去思考自我本質。這方面也特別貼近我內心經常有的想法。

Q3這次的展覽中,有哪幅作品特別想跟我們分享的?為什麼?

CROTER:這次展覽中我特別想要去推薦 『耳的想像I』 這幅作品,耳朵是一個不能拒絕訊息的器官,你聽到甚麼感覺好惡,幾乎都由大腦判斷,光是這點,就跟我的展覽主題相契合了。仔細去想想耳朵可能是最不帶成見的受體器官,產生的卻是最帶著成見的意識。

Q4如果給看畫的觀眾一句話,你想跟他們說什麼?

CROTER:也借尼采一句「當你凝視深淵,深淵也凝視著你。」

Q1. What motivates and sustains you to be an independent artist instead of a commercially fi nanced designer?

CROTER:I personally believe that it is important to constantly challenge and extend my existing visual mentality so as to maintain my graphic sensitivity. It is the case not just in illustration but also any graphic related jobs. My method is to embrace the information explosion outwards while exploring inwards among the ideas that had settled in my mind. The concept is to visualize my thoughts by illustration. Interestingly, each attempt leads to various results (of course I’m not talking about monetary result).

Q2. In light of your latest creation, what role does Nietzsche play that inspires you?

CROTER:As I mentioned previously, I often come across weird items when I explore inwards, like things that have become physically unrecognizable in my mind. While pondering over these items buried deep inside my head, I’d seek answers in philosophical books (However, the action of answer seeking itself is wrong). Nietzsche and existentialism often put a stop to my endless search of non-existing answers and inspire me to turn to think about the essence of myself. The process actually echoes my personal thoughts as well.

Q3. Among all the works on display in this exhibition, which particular piece would you like to share with us? Why?

CROTER: I would especially want to recommend “The Imagination of the Ear”.Ear is an organ that is incapable of rejecting messages. You hear, you receive, and the preference is all up to your brain to judge. This notion alone is exactly what my exhibition is trying to convey. Think about it. Your ear might be the least judgmental recipient of your body, yet it generates the most judgmental consciousness.

Q4. Would you like to say something to the visitors to your exhibition in one sentence?

CROTER:I’d like to quote Nietzsche. “When you gaze long into the abyss, the abyss also gazes into you.”
